bsetroot - blackbox utility to change root window appearance
Contents
Description
Bsetroot is a utility that can control the appearance of the root window in three ways: Either give it a
solid color, or write a two color modula pattern to it, or render a gradient texture, based on two
different colors.
Bsetroot resembles xsetroot(1) in this functionality but it supports multiple screen displays, and
gradient textures the same way as Blackbox does. It doesn't handle cursors etc. Bsetroot is part of the
Blackbox package.
